Become a trained Young Adult Mental Health Community Health Worker through our virtual High School & Young Adult Community Health Worker Training Program!


Morehouse School of Medicine is looking for 18-24 year old young adults who want to see their family, friends, and community mentally healthy. Participants will be chosen from completed applications. To apply, review the following information and complete the following application form. Applications are due by November 30th, 2021.

According to the American Public Health Association, Community Health Workers (CHW) are frontline public health workers who are trusted members of and/or have an unusually close understanding of the community served. This trusting relationship enables CHWs to serve as a liaison, link or vital connection between health/social services and the community to increase access to services and improve the quality and culturally appropriate of service delivery. CHWs also strengthen the individual and community by increasing health knowledge and self-sufficiency through a range of activities such as outreach, community education, informal counseling, social support and advocacy.

Morehouse School of Medicine (MSM) will lead the Young Adult Mental Health Community Health Workers Program. This initiative will align three focal components to address mental health and wellbeing among youth: mental health literacy training, community-based mental health intervention (i.e., communication campaign + service linkage), and year-round engagement through mental health screening and reinforcing lessons.

Participants will be involved in the development and implementation of a mental health public messaging campaign to cover topics including stress, substance and alcohol abuse, suicide. They also learn strategies for mitigating mental health emergencies and work with peers to implement community-based mental health initiatives.

This is a virtual, 6-month program that will occur from January-June of 2022. It also includes an iPad, backpack, polo shirt, and other equipment for all participants, including a training stipend. Learn more about the Morehouse School of Medicine here.
